WINNIPEG/TORONTO—Suncor Energy, Canada’s second-biggest oil company, said on Friday it would cut its workforce by up to 15 percent over the next year and a half, as pandemic travel restrictions crushed crude demand.

The reductions will affect some 2,000 non-union jobs, said Scott Doherty, a spokesman for the Unifor union.
